Kronik fiziksel özürlü bireylerde ağrı, depresyon, anksiyete ve fonksiyonel bağımsızlık ile yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişki

Amaç: Bu çalışma, kronik fiziksel özürlü bireylerde ağrı, depresyon, anksiyete ve fonksiyonel bağımsızlık ile yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla planlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 38.18±11.06 yıl olan 82 sağlıklı birey ve 37.72±16.40 yıl olan 89 kronik fiziksel özürlü birey olmak üzere toplam 171 birey dahil edildi. Olguların yaş, boy, kilo, cinsiyet, eğitim düzeyi, meslek, medeni durum gibi fiziksel ve sosyal özellikleri kaydedildi. Ağrıyı değerlendirmek için Vizüel Analog Skalası, depresyon için Beck Depresyon Envanteri, anksiyete için Beck Anksiyete Envanteri, yaşam kalitesi için Nottingham Sağlık Profili, fonksiyonel durum için Fonksiyonel Bağımsızlık Ölçümü kullanıldı. Bulgular: Sağlıklı bireylerle karşılaştırıldığında kronik fiziksel özürlü bireylerde ağrı, depresyon, anksiyete değerlerinin daha yüksek, yaşam kalitesi değerinin ise daha düşük olduğu ve gruplar arası karşılaştırmada ağrı, anksiyete, depresyon, fonksiyonel bağımsızlık ve yaşam kalitesi arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu bulundu (p

The relation between health-related quality of life and pain, depression, anxiety, and functional independence in persons with chronic physical disability

Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the relation between health- related quality of life and pain, depression, anxiety, and functional independence. Methods: The study included 82 healthy subjects aged 38.18±11.06 and 89 physically disabled subjects aged 37.72±16.40. Physical and social characteristics of the subjects such as age, height, length, weight, gender, occupational and marital status, and level of education were recorded. Visual Analogue Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Nottingham Health Profile, and Functional Independence Measure were used to evaluate pain, depression, anxiety, quality of life, and functional independence, respectively. Results: Compared to healthy individuals, chronically disabled subjects had higher pain, depression and anxiety and lower quality of life scores. Between-group comparison showed that there was a significant difference in pain, depression, anxiety levels and health-related quality of life (p<0.05). Similarly, both healthy and disabled individuals indicated a negative correlation between pain, depression, anxiety and quality of life (p<0.05). Conclusion: In individuals with chronic disabilities, pain may induce serious psychological problems, negatively affecting quality of life. This study showed that in chronically disabled individuals, there is a strong correlation between pain, depression, anxiety, and quality of life. These results should be considered carefully when planning assessment and rehabilitation programs for individuals with chronic disabilities.
